Looking at each team's projected top contributors...and assuming Lawson is gone for the NBA (but Ellington/Green return to school)...
PG Paulus/Smith
SG Scheyer/Williams
SF Henderson/Poicous
PF Singler /Czyz
C Thomas/Zoubek/Miles
-Nelson, King
PG Frasor/Drew
SG Ellington/Green
SF Ginyard
PF Thompson/Zeller
C Hansbrough/Davis
-Lawson, Stephenson, Q. Thomas
The bold items are "who has the advantage at that position" (based on my opinions). Which means Duke has the advantage at 3 positions: PG, SF, PF. I also think UNC loses more. However, if Lawson returns, which seems unlikely from reports, then UNC would gain the advantage at PG. Of course, UNC has the best sixth man in the country in Green and the National Player of the Year in Hansbrough, but I think Singler and Henderson are ready for superstar status.
I think that if Lawson leaves, Duke should be ACC preseason #1.
